Discover Balule Game Reserve on foot with 7000ha of exclusive wilderness to explore

In the heart of the Greater Kruger, our 5-day Walking Safari on Balule Game Reserve offers the quintessential safari experience. The undulating granite hills and sandy plains offer a moderately challenging terrain and is the perfect substrate to follow tracks and spend the day amongst African wildlife.
